Final Fantasy XV Official Works finally has a U.S. release date. Final Fantasy XV, which was hailed as a Final Fantasy title for veterans and beginners, was released back in 2016.
Final Fantasy XV is one of the newer titles in the popular Square Enix franchise. The story surrounds Noctis as he travels with his friends to reclaim his kingdom, which has been taken over by the empire of Niflheim. The game was praised for the friendship between its four main characters, beautiful open world, and fun combat style, but it was knocked for a rushed final act with a high focus on linearity. Regardless, the game resonated with many fans and garnered interest from the Final Fantasy community.
The Official Works was released in Japan back on March 22, 2018. The book contains original art, interviews with the development team, writings about the lore of the world, and much more.
It will have been more than four years since the original game's release that the Official Works will be available in the U.S. The Amazon listing states that it will be available February 9, 2021 and is now available for preorder. The book will be hardcover and Amazon's official description can be found below:
